Pranam
My dear Sri Gopalakrishnan
Articulated is not a bad word as parachi petra etc; adjective.
Having good *articulation*; especially (of words, thoughts, etc.) clearly
spoken or expressed. It's encomium only. So think before inking or else
you will be another narayanaswamy. I have never said your writing is bad. I
always feel we learn more and share so that we can study and become
knowledgeable in time saving mode. Had you said these words earlier I have
no comments that I offered. Your videyam and casting are self-evident which
I do not wish to reproduce. Also I write what I know but not as time- pass.
Young ones do write well but their limitations are in the beginning. Maybe
there are exceptions too. So as elders, let's add better contents. So
personally how can I have anything against anyone?. Once you wrote that
yours on the high plane etc . It's not that. All are in the same plane. We
have to raise and cannot say when your grandson is asking a question -i do
not know; we have to gather and clear his doubt lest he will lose faith on
grandparents and parents. My effort is only this much. Thank you sir. Also
never advise others to ignore him; because today me tomorrow yourself. Our
role will change this earth I believe. Thank you sir K R IRS 18521

>> I had written in my posting Divine information part 7 one can perform

>> title Srivaishnavam practices in web page.*
>>
>> An Iyengar worship only in Sri Vishnu temples (exemptions are there).
>> Their practices are different from ours.
>>
>> He has told in a correspondence to me if pithruvaram is done, *with

>>
>> You can correspond with TRS iyengar and ask whether he has written to me

>>
>> *Kindly note- It is Sri Vaishnavam practices.*
>>
>> What is quoted from his cousin is not his view. Hiranya sradham goes to

>>
>> You can discuss this point with Sri Venkat Raman also. He was inviting
>> Nampoothiries for srardha. Later they stopped coming. However he has
>> performed Gaya srardha.
>>
>> Among Tamil Brahmins the practices are different. Among Kerala iyers
>> there are variations since they settled in Kerala long back.
>>
>> Once before performing Gayasrardha, my sasthrikal brought two Brahmins
>> for a srardha. One was a *Kerala Moothathu* talking in Malayalam.
>> Without asking sasthrikal said- it is very difficult to get iyers for
>> sradha.
>>
>> I have only one point to request you. You write anything you like as *your

>>
>> *I mark your mails to **spam** after your writing to me- **Do not write
